Age of Wonders
Not sure if this completely constitutes as an oldy, since I think it came out in '96, but it's still an awesome game that I love playing. I can sit down at my computer and literally play this game for hours on hours capturing cities, slaying dragons, and VANQUISING THE INFIDELS! I don't know what I love most about this game, the excellent graphics, the superb gameplay, the stunning amount of choices available, or the absolutely amazing music. In fact, the music is so good that I tried making a terrible power metal version of one of the songs.
Anyway, I'm currently exploring all of the races. With 12 races, there are so many great ones to choose from. I used to play good almost exclusively, but I started using goblins recently and I really like evil units, as ashamed as I am to admit that. I don't know any other word besides love to explain what I think of this game; the involved strategies, the diplomacy, the combat, the music, all just so brilliant. I'd really like to start playing online with people, but I don't know anyone else with it. It's such an awesome game, I think more people definitely need to check it out. Anyway, what do you all think of this game? |

Yes because some of the races in MoM are found in Age of Wonders.Also if i'm correct, the concept of magical nodes is also found in AoW

'99? Whoa! I thought it came out in 1996. Even still, it wouldn't be abandonware. Nevertheless, it's a great game.

Yeah.. AoW was good, but in my opinion, The Heroes of might and magic series are way better.
My fav. AoW teams were the Azracs, the icelings... and i think the team with the spiders. |

I also like the Heroes Of Might & Magic series way more than Age Of Wonders, although I didn't give AoW much of a chance as I only played the 2nd installment for a short time. AoW is too turn-based for me I guess, as battles can take ages!
